Form & Verdict
Out of a 1m Listed winner who was runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas; signs of ability in a valuable Haydock event on debut (6f, good; 5-1) in September, albeit just running on at one pace in the closing stages; lacks a recent run but no surprise if she does better over 7f.

Twice-raced filly whose dam finished second in the 1,000 Guineas, carrying these silks; seems likely to build on Thirsk reappearance win (7f) and show additional improvement upped further in trip; one to consider.

Second foal; dam 7f 2yo/1m Listed winner (runner-up in 1,000 Guineas) who was effective on good/heavy ground; the standard set by those who have raced isn't a daunting one and this Pinatubo newcomer could be a player.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Hooded for Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) last July where she raced with her head on one side virtually throughout but showed spunk to force a dead-heat; off since and it's hard to judge the merit of that muddling race but the new trip shouldn't be a problem; can give it a good shot.

J: Robbie Downey

T: Roger Varian

Hooded all starts; dead-heated in her sole outing as a 2yo and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, firstly at Sandown (1m, good) and then at Nottingham (1m, good to firm); dam won on the AW and she should stay this far, but she has gone up another 4lb which isn't ideal.

J: Ray Dawson

Hooded all starts; dead-heated in her sole outing as a 2yo and back to form when beaten a head at Sandown (1m, good) last month; up 4lb, but the form of that race is working out well; respected.

9st 4lb

J: Ray Dawson

T: Roger Varian

Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.

Form: 7-5

3 yo Filly

OR:

Form & Verdict
No impact at Haydock in October but she looked more of a prospect on Southwell AW (7f) last month when doing some steady late work; might find this test on the sharp side but another step forward is possible.

Made a winning start in handicaps over 1m here in May and doubled her tally at Beverley (8.5f) in July; posted a solid third of five at Nottingham (1m) last month; very much one to consider with this slightly longer trip a likely plus.

Form & Verdict
Modest form in two juvenile runs over 6f (good and heavy) but she went off shortish prices each time and her 3yo career could be more fruitful, especially over a trip that should suit; market can guide on comeback.

0-4 for William Haggas and sold to join new yard for 22,000gns in July; made winning AW/stable debut at Lingfield (1m) two weeks ago and may have further improvement now that she steps up in trip.

Didn't match up to market expectations in her first three starts for William Haggas, but ran better when fifth of ten on handicap debut at Redcar (7f, good) where she would have gone even closer with a clear run; makes her debut for her new yard after three months off having changed hands for 22,000gns last month; out of a Polytrack winner; watch market.
